Basic Information

An asteroid is a small rocky body that orbits our Sun. They are larger than meteoroids (so, larger than 10 meters in diameter), but smaller than planets. An asteroid large enough to be formed into an elliptical or rounded shape by its own gravity is known as a Dwarf Planet.

Specific Groups

These are classes and groups of Asteroids from various regions of the Solar System.

Asteroid Thickets aren't terribly likely or realistic (as over time they'd either accrete into a planet, or pulverize each other into dust), but they certainly are a staple of Science Fiction. Chances are your players will totally accept the notion of thick fields of asteroids smacking in to each other chaotically and being the ultimate interstellar terrainnavigational hazard - science be damned!
